IMPRCVEMENT IN WAGON SPRING-SEATS.

` Specification forming part of Letters Patent No."l2'1,670, dated March19, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL W. DENNY, of Blueville, in the county ofChristian and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Wagon Spring- Seats; and do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being hadto the accompanying drawing and to 'the letters of reference markedthereon. l

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof springs for wagon-seats, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.f

4In order to enable others skilled inthe art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, ,I will now proceed to describe itscon struction and operation, referring to the4 annexed drawing, whichforms a part of this speciiication, and in which-#- Figure 1 is a frontelevation, and Fig. 2 a bottom view of a wagon-seat with my springsattached.

A represents a wagonseat of any desired construction, having twosprings, B B, attached to its under side by means of bolts D D, one ofsaid springs being located near the front, and the other near the rearedge ofthe seat. These springs B Bare ofthe peculiar construction shownin Fig. l, the main part of each spring being the same as the uppermain4 leaf of the common elliptic carriage-spring, and secured throughthe center by the bolts D D to the under side of the seat A. The ends ofsaid sprin g are, however, bent upward at a a, and a straight portion,b, runs upward and outward from said bends, and the extreme ends arebent over, forming the hooks d d. If desired, one" or more smallerleaves, G, may be placed on top of each spring B, between it and theseat, for the purpose of strengthening the springs, the bolts D,ofcourse, passing through said leaf or leavesalso. In addition a woodenblock, e, maybe interposed between the front spring and the seat, so asto slightly raise the seat in front, giving it al suitable incline.

This seat, with the springs constructed in this manner, is cheap anddurable, light, easy to handle, and easy to ride on, ttin g on top ofthe side boards of a wagon, or under the side boards, as may be mostconvenient or desirable.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and,ldesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the seat A, springs B B, with bends a a, and hooks dd, one or more leaves G, and the block c above the front spring,substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth. y

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this26th day of January, 1872.
